Fireboard Ring - someday we'll get it in the US. In the meantime, here it is.

From my very own backyard.

Hope ya'll like.

You have a really good on-camera presence!

Also...MMD mention! And I want those pies.

Excellent video.

[realdocBBQ]

Thank you, sir! They've mentioned doing some more stuff for them, so we'll see if it works out into me becoming 'Temu Jeremy Yoder." lol

I love my Fireboard Ring although mine are a lot dirtier than the two you are using. Hard to believe I've been using mine for over a year now and turned out some great food with it.

realdocBBQ so you don't use a temp probe clipped to the cooking grate to monitor/control smoker temps? I've always used that one to monitor and control temps instead of the ambient probe built into the ring, as there is a pretty big difference in temperature between the two and I want the temp where the food sits. I applaud you on the squeaky clean look of your Ring. Mine is pretty dirty and well-stained.

[realdocBBQ]

Yes, you are right - sometimes I do. If it's not loaded down too much, like in that rib cook, it's not a huge difference for me, but if I have a lot of meat and stuff, I will at times use a grate-mounted probe.

You can see one here up near the top:

Man, that kettle is loaded! I really like how the ring has those notches in it to slip the cables in. Hey man, nice shot.

Great job on the video! Good info. without getting too lengthy…….👍 So many of those instructional videos out there are much longer than they need to be.

[realdocBBQ]

Good point - there's a lot of just filling the void with talking.

Glad to see you are still using the Ring from the Beta test. I am splitting my cooks between the Kettle with the Ring and the Masterbuilt Gravity XT with the mod that allows me to use the Fireboard as the controller. I am waiting for Fireboard to come out with their DC drive for the XT version of the Masterbuilt. Can you share your pie recipe/instructions?

[realdocBBQ]

Hmmmm. yes, I'll have to post that. I think I MIGHT have a couple years back, but I'm not sure. I've been making it for 2-3y now, it's usually a hit.

I was fortunate enough to be chosen for the Beta test. Have done so many cooks with it that I lost track. It has become a must for long cooks. As to keeping it clean....that's another story.

[jlazar]

Agree on the cleaning. As long as the grate is clean.
